It’s been a busy week in Amandaland. . .
Saturday went to lunch at the “Hideout” then headed to Fry’s were baby needed to get a new mouse. Fry’s kills us with all the candy and random crap you can buy in line for the registers, we resisted but I couldn’t resist all the gumball machines at the exit. There was one machine that had “bling” and hoping we would get a dollar sign on a chain we went for it and got a manly gold ring, boo! I gave it baby and he put it on his pinky and then I tried again for the chain. I got the same ring! A sign we figured so they are our promise rings now :P
(We’re still trying to come up with a clever nickname for him on the blog, but baby will have to do for now)
Later that night I spotted this cutie on 6th street:
On Labor Day I spotted this cute couple walking up 5th, the were holding hands and laughing, they looked so happy I couldn’t resist documenting it! <3!
Tuesday after an appoinment (remind me not to make appointments at 7am anymore!) I took a walk around Skid Row, it’s one of my favorite parts of Downtown, everyone is very nice and there is lots of cool stuff to see. A nice man hosing off the sidewalk told me to have a lovely day :)
I’m particularly fond of Wall Street in front of the LAPD Central Division, a lovely block of SRO’s that are well kept. Especially pretty after dark when they light up their neon signs. Drive by one day and you’ll see. Totally safe too.
Spotted this on Maple:
I’ve never seen so many like that! Does anyone REALLY know what the shoe thing is about? Don’t tell me it’s drugs either because remember I was on Skid Row, no need to mark territory there!
Spotted these street art pieces on Main:
John Boehner:
Thursday I went to the launch party for Blendr, it’s a fun social networking app from the company who brought you Grindr. It’s very cool and is going to be huge, I’m proud to call one of the developers my dear friend :) Anyway, they had a whole “Blendr” themed party atop the London Hotel in West Hollywood,
everything was their signature turqoise blue and they even had a special “Blendr” cocktail. At the end we were treated to some tasty cupcakes, I made sure to grab a personalized one. Yum!
Discovered some new music this week, Donny Hathaway’s version of the Blood Sweat & Tears song “I love you more than you ever know”.
Which reminded me about this other cool version I found the other day by Aldo Venucci.
The original is one of my favorites, glad to know there is more great versions out there!
